You just need to buy BTC before buying the product. Send BTC with 20% discount and you are done. Didnt spend any BTC that you have on wallet and still got the disccount.

I dont spend bitcoins. And the 20% discount on Amazon is nothing capared to percentage bitcoin can increase in near future. So I spend fiat, and hold bitcoin.

ehm you know that you can spend those fiat in bitcoin, instead of spending them in "fiat" right? this regardless of the future value of bitcoin

but the advantage is that by spending those fiat in bitcoin, now(if you need something to buy obvious) you will get a discount, instead with fiat you will get nothing...

I am not buying a lot stuff from Amazon, but when I do plan to make a purchase I just use purse.io. I am happy I can avoid using PayPal this way.

I have never used fiat (credit card) to buy thing at Amazon.com - not even online. I exchange my Bitcoin for Giftcards at this forums, gyft and egifter for Amazon Giftcards. I use those giftcards to buy thing at Amazon.com. So far so good. I heard of Purse.io but the concept is just too hard to get.

Do you get discount by using giftcards paid with bitcoin? Is so, I might try this method in the future.

amazon needs a platform to pay for a partial order with btc and then some with credit/gift card.  Used fiat to buy 2 ps4 games today which were a great deal! farcry 4 was 15 bucks.

why would you pay with an e-currency like BTC when you already have debit cards? Smiley

BTC is good if you want to specualate or if you want to buy weed online Smiley


Yes and it is also good for gambling, where you can gamble with the small amount of btc just for fun, regarding amazon I haven't purchased anything yet by using bitcoins, it is better to use fiat while you shop from amazon, and bitcoins need to be kept safe for future, can sell in future if the prices goes up and earn profits out of it.

We no longer use fiat at Amazon.  Strictly Purse.io now.



We used bitcoin to pay for around $2000 of chemistry equipment for a chemistry class.
The class is for 20 homeschool students.  Buying through Purse saved us several hundred dollars.

I'm curious if people who actually know about Purse.io still actually pay full price for things on Amazon when you could be getting your purchase at a 20% discount.

I'd like to know your reasons why. For my friends and family I understand because they're scared of this "bitcoin" thing, but for those who use Bitcoin, why would you not?

If you don't buy things on Amazon...not really asking you anything here.

I'm still using a credit card to buy something on Amazon. Thanks for the info though, I'll consider to use it some day maybe. Have you personally use Purse.io? I mean how many times have you actually used it? Can you say it's almost 100% safe?

I have heard about purse.io for a long time now and i don't have a good feeling with them.
Firstly i wanted to sell a amazon gift card and i couldn't because i should buy several times and then to sell the gift card.
Also recently there are many bad feedback about purse.io that people are having issues after getting the package because of fraud activity by the seller.

No, I am buying giftcards for bitcoin whenever I want to buy something from amazon, so this way I get some extra discount when buying giftcards using bitcoin

I have never tried buying on amazon as in my country no any bank provides worldwide accepted credit cards and also paypal is not supported. But now with bitcoin and purse i think i will be able to buy some goods there. I am searching to buy something there.

I heard some horror stories about Purse.io in the beginning and then I switched to gyft.com. I will give them some time to sort out all the problems and also transaction processing speed, before I try them. I am not one of those people who adopt new services early on, because I cannot afford to experiment.

There are so many scam sites these days, you have to adopt a strategy as a protection method.


what horror story, i'm interested, seeing how i'm using it sometime? it seems legit, besides the slowness

There should be a 50, 50 option. Sometimes you can find very nice offers when paying with Bitcoin, and some others with Fiat. I use both.
